The Let Them Theory

The Let Them Theory is your key to finding the right balance. It’s about empowering your team while providing the structure they need to succeed. It’s about letting go of control without abandoning responsibility. And it starts with you.

When you micromanage, you suffocate innovation, erode trust, and make it impossible for your team to grow. In other words, a controlling boss is a bad boss.

there’s a big difference between guiding your team and controlling every move they make.

How do I motivate my team? Whether you’re leading an executive team, the nightshift at a warehouse, training one new employee, or trying to manage a little league team—the answer is the same. It’s all based on how YOU show up in that role. Having a good boss is what creates good teams. It’s not the size of the budget, the perks, or even the talent—

If you don’t use Let Them, you are allowing yourself to be impacted by the worries, actions, insecurities, and opinions of others. If you don’t use Let Me, you are leaving the things you want in life up to chance.

No matter what happens around you, you decide how it will affect you.

Stop chasing love and start choosing it.

But relationships are about learning how to love someone for who they are, not for who you wish they could be.

Remember, one of the fundamental takeaways from this book: People only do what they feel like doing.
